The County Sports

This year Aimee and Holly qualified to the County sports at the Clickimin. Aimee had gone through on the high jump, 200 metre, 100 metre, cricket ball throw and the shuttle relay. And Holly got through on the long jump. We were competing with lots of other groups. The South Mainland, Bellsbrae, Sound, Central Mainland, North Isles, and the West Side. We were the North mainland group with Ollaberry , Mossbank, North Roe, Lunasting and Brae. When we got to Brae off the high school bus we met with the rest of the North mainland team and went on a bigger bus to Lerwick .  When we got to the Cickimin we were shocked to see how big the track was where we did a warm up of four laps ( we walked most of it!) At first we watched the eight hundred and cheered on our team.

After that was the 100m that Aimee was in. Holly was Aimee’s assistant, by being her coat holder  and giving her a water bottle when she was racing! Aimee came forth in her heat but sadly didn’t make it to the final. We had a quick snack through the sack race.

And then  Aimee got ready for the cricket ball throw. Aimee didn’t win the cricket ball throw but came ninth or tenth.

Soon after that it was the girls long jump while the boys did the high jump at the same time. Aimee had her lunch while Holly competed the long jump but didn’t  win a medal.

Holly had her lunch when Aimee did the High jump. Aimee did ok in the high jump she didn’t win anything and only cleared up to one metre ten and came maybe twelfth. She knocked the pole off on her first attempt and on her second attempt she knocked it off and had to go out. Holly recorded every thing that happened in the high jump in a notebook.

We quickly went back to the field for Aimee’s 200 metre  heats. She through the coat at Holly before she ran. When her race began Holly followed on the grass she came third, Aimee came first not Holly! And was in the FINAL!!!! In the final she also came third and won a bronze medal !!!!! After all the excitement she had to run in the relay with three other people in the team called Lily , Tom and Mark. In the relay they also came in third place and all of them won a medal!!!

After the medals we went back on the bus, it was a fab day!!!
